The name of Gothenburg-based quintet AGRIMONIA
will reverberate through the masses throughout the
coming months as their third LP, and first for
Southern Lord, is subject to be released onto the
masses at the end of April.

AGRIMONIA has lead a fruitful
existence since their 2005 foundation, a steady diet
of live appearances and European tours being an
immediate part of the band’s ethos from day one, the
ranks of the band featuring members of other notable
Swedish infiltrators including Martyrdöd, Skitsystem,
At the Gates and others. Their initial recording — a
massive nearly hour-long undertaking —
spread through the post-rock and crust legions,
eventually seeing official release on European label
Skuld Releases. Following their follow-up LP — the
2010-released Host Of The Winged, released
again via Skuld alongside a CD release on US
crust/punk mainstays Profane Existence — the band
traversed on American and Mexican soil for the first
time with a brief but rampant West Coast North
American tour.

Having signed with Southern Lord mid-2012, AGRIMONIA
bunkered into the studio over the turn of the year to
record their label debut Rites Of Separation,
the final product then mixed by mastermind Fredrik
Nordstrom at infamous Studio Fredman (At The Gates,
Opeth, Arch Enemy). With just seconds short of a full
hour of material harnessed, the completed recordings
boast the most mammoth and varied sounds in the band’s
already diversified and expansive sound, their
bustling slow-motion post-rock builds displayed with
the most epic refinement. The band’s unconcealed
crustpunk ethos and scathing elements shine through
the pristine devastation, with elements of Summoning,
Damad, Pelican, Opeth, Crisis, Bolt Thrower, Nausea
and countless more shining within AGRIMONIA’s
crushing, poignant and unique new LP.
